Because of this, the self defense moves are more natural than many other styles of karate. Servant's Heart teaches basic punches and kicks, self defense, and karate forms called katas. We teach weapons for more advanced students which include, but is not limited to, bo, sai, nunchaku, and tekko. Woven into the system is improvement of oneself and developing balance in ones life.
Skills such as self protection, coordination, agility, fitness, listening, following direction, learning to lead, and cooperation are enhanced. Attributes such as respect, self-confidence, self-control, faithfulness, and serving others are developed over time. Servant's Heart Karate believes in having fun and building friendships.

The Shimbukan Dojo was first opened in 1971 by Eisuke Akamine Sensei. He taught both traditional Ryukyu Kobudo and Shorin Ryu Karate. In 1999 Eisuke Akamine Dai Sensei passed away and the Shimbukan Dojo was taken over by his son Hiroshi Akamine Sensei. In 2012 Akamine Sensei decided to resign from his previous association and start Ryukyu Kobudo Shimbukan.

I like the layout, I can watch my kids practice in a comfortable separate room. Also there's great parking and the facility is clean.
Sensei Susan is great with handling the class and impressively remembers everyone's name. I really like how she doesn't let my boys get away with goofing off or being lazy. She makes the kids earn their belts and I've been noticing a real improvement in my boys self discipline and confidence at home.

Our daughter has only been taking classes at Servant's Heart for a month or so, but she loves it. We are very happy with the atmosphere at the school, the teachers are top notch, caring, yet disciplined, and they give each child the attention they need to succeed. The facilities are clean and well designed so that parents can watch lessons yet not disturb the class. Each lesson also includes a fun game or challenge at the end, sending everyone home happy. Of all of the options in the area we considered, we are confident we picked the best!
